  do you think the watchtower will ban commenting at the meetings one day?

  if you are pimo, you might want to try to make some comments to make others think about the “truth”!

  yeah, in effect now. try to bring some analytic thinking into the "study" and you will be banned for life.

  That is why the controller in the ZOOM is the PO otboE. or other trusted enforcer. only repetitious propaganda permitted.

  Would You Like To Be God?

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  2. beliefs

  we know there are a few on this forum who think they are, but consider this for a while.

  if you are god, you are omniscient, therefore you have nothing to learn.

  nothing to research, investigate or explore as there is nothing you don’t already know.

  !!! well, it appears that the creator (if any) gave free reign to a no holds barred competition among life forms,

  that developed according to the restrains that the laws of nature (which themselves could have been a selection of the arrival/ survival of the viable ones among many possibilities,-- in our universe.

  I would have, given the choice, eliminated mosquitoes as torturing immediaries of diseases that eliminated, sorted out,

  weaker members of the human race, to make us survivors stronger. (less itch please) and

  put in place an angelic force, patterned after, empowered like the "kill all the First born !!! episode" in ancient Egypt, ---that would instantly dispatch any attempting rapist, including the likes of potiphar's wife***. sparing the agony, and devastation that sexual violence has in the world.

  *** while not a violent sex offender, she commanded a slave to perform sexual duties on her. against his repeated protestations surely prompted by disgust.

  in today's wt "study, "merci" a lot of gaslighting.

  on one hand: you will be judged the way you are judging, but twice "david" is seen as needlessly killing or intending to kill people for minor transgression, .

  1) getting ready to kill nabel, all males not paying his extortion fees, and .

  thinks it deserves a ‘pass’ for whatever mistakes IT makes.

  LGH: right, and by extension, deep down wt writers know, without perhaps realizing it, that they are deserving of the severest punishment, which, according to scripture is prioritized on BETHEl , '"he household of god".

  starting with the mark of false prophets, and wt's punishment/ banishment of people that could have helped them, but that instead were silenced. the tribe of Joseph.

  In today's wt "study, "merci" a lot of gaslighting. on one hand: you will be judged the way you are judging, but twice "David" is seen as needlessly killing or intending to kill people for minor transgression,

  1) getting ready to kill Nabel, all males not paying his extortion fees, and

  2) suggesting to kill Nathan's' imaginary straw man for theft, taking the last, precious sheep.

  yet, "David" is not judged in kind, but lives to cause the death of thousands innocents again. (a wolf in sheep's clothes) imho. so:

  wt sends the message: we represent the greater david in kingly power , invisibly.

  The army is behind us, dont complain, we are approved no matter what we do. and:

  "mentally diseased" sheep (aka apostate), isolated behind a closed gate and double wall, (like maze), whereas child molesters, repeat adulterers are let back in, often repeatedly.

  One problem is, who paid the debt for the sins of Armageddon survivors, i.e., the other sheep?

  Yeah, they are the ones that need the ransom more than the"partaking anointed", because survivors will never die***, never personally pay the price according to wt doctrine.

  so wt: reinstitute the original last supper, where only the men with an earthly hope partook of the bread and wine. the only "anointed", the Christ just passed it on. and

  Not redeemed by the ransom, the Armageddon survivors are forced to work it off, 1000 year wt slaves. the conciliation price though :

  They will not be like angels, still have possible marital bliss. a joy not to miss.

  *** wt circa 1918: " the world has ended, Millions now living will never die"

  Dating in the Org

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  you men, who were brothers in the congregation and you were dating sisters in the congregation, did you find that they cared more about how you made them look in the congregation than they cared about you?.

  you women, who were sisters in the congregation and you were dating brothers in the congregation, were you more concerned about how he affected your status & how you were viewed in the congregation, than you cared about him?.

  I believe the sisters were so tied up emotionally in the wt movement, that their hormonal responses were totally skewed in favour of true believers. Even gammy males like me would elicit an alpha response.

  I could have married legal secretaries taller, richer, more learned, educated then, than me, solely because of the luster that zeal for the wt cause gave me. imho. (no not an opinion, some of us had to duck out from the pressure. )

  Favoured diversion: " belong to the AA club" marriage? after armageddon"

  P.S. probably not a strictly wt thing, it is the religious BS. , an evolutionary tick that gave success to those with a dedicated mind to a strongly bonded Brother/ sisterhood.

  breeding , survival of the most religious.

  The sub question is: will the scrolls that are opened now be new light, the record of past misdeeds, or brownie points, or remain the new laws of the kingdom reign like : "thou shalt not build airplanes" ?? only sailboats shown in wt paradise pictures.

  The commentator twisted the words of Jackson, who said nobody will be ALLOWED to sin, whereas the comment dealt with the idea they will be UNABLE to sin. toward the end he used the words interchangeably.

  wt old light mis applied the Isaia 65 wt idea, that the centenarian sinner will die looking perfect, like a young boy, to refer to evil doer in the millenium facing execution. . ( new light is, that Isaiah 65 applies to the returned exiles only.)

  BTW: I found it always odd, that people could sin with impunity all this life, fearing no consequences any more than a new born baby dying, or any lifelong devout blameless do gooder.

  Geoffrey Jackson- soliciting?

  by molybdenum in

  2. beliefs

  i listened to geoffrey jackson’s latest talk “assisting our brothers materially “.

  jackson presented some arguments, one of which was….jesus did not stop the widow from putting money in the contribution box in the temple.

  basically saying regardless of your financial situation you have to donate.

  Jesus did not stop the widow from putting money in the contribution box in the temple.

  mbd: It has to be understood, that Jesus is reported to have almost in the same breath condemned the then only God- approved system of worship to destruction.
  

  the message: even if we fail, are going to go, and you disapprove, or we are condemned,

  Jesus wants you to give. even it appears to be illogical. Even if it bankrupts you.
